After the end of the war with the fire nation, I'm not surprised they shared all of their technological advance to show they trully wanted to stay at peace. At least to those earth dudes, air and water tribes seems a lot more isolated. The earth cities, while not as advanced as the fire ones, were far from being medieval. This is false. Ember Island Players shows that there are plenty of Fire Nation citizens who were in favor of the war. | ||

It's almost like some kind of reference to history's nations of extreme international aggression and privileged citizens who pay no mind to the outside world so long as their on top... But that's just crazy talk. | ||

There definitely were a lot not directly involved, but there weren't many that were directly opposed to the war. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Korra sucks at being the Avatar. Seriously. Though she at least seems to have a strong moral compass of her own, she's just terrible at dealing with people (and she's so rude to her parents...) Bolin: whipped lol Mako: lol, dealt with Korra very gingerly Varrick: hm... rebellion? interesting. Also, the Tenzin/Bumi/Kya backstory is verrrrry interesting (surprise, Aang played favorites; surprise, Bumi is compensating for not being a bender), though it's weird how Tenzin told Bumi "you were supposed to be the oldest"? On second thought, maybe he was talking to Kya... | ||

Episode 3 was a lot better than the first 2 imo. | ||

Why would you keep her locked away in the south pole when her whole job is to unite the different nations. Why would you intentionally not tell her about the history of conflict between the north/south poles when they are on the verge of civil war. Episode 3 was a lot better than the first 2 imo. Because nobody has an accurate view of themselves when they were a teenager, or are currently in that stage of life and in denial. | ||

Which is why it's reasonable for her to act the way she is right now. And while I also would not feel ok letting my teenage daughter with demigod like powers run around the world visiting far off countries, apparently that's what all the previous avatars did, including aang, and that's what they are supposed to do. As little faith as I would have trusting the judgement of a teenager, I would have as more faith in the traditions of the previous avatars. Korra's dad is literally just some peasant with a comically poor lack of understanding about the spirit world. How could he decide that he has the wisdom to change how avatars are supposed to be trained. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Maybe I missed something in the pilot though, but is Unalak (sp?) supposed to come off as straight up evil to me? I feel like he's just awfully manipulative, I can't tell if he's actually a conflicted-good guy or manipulative bad one... also the end of ep. 3 was awfully surprising. | ||

i feel like the quality of animation / voice acting has dropped since season 1? lines seem so forced, not to mention korra's suddenly so much more of a bitch about everything... | ||

How could he decide that he has the wisdom to change how avatars are supposed to be trained. Korra's dad is about as far from a peasant as you can get. He was a general and heir apparent to a nation that represents ~1/4th of the world. I think his misunderstanding of the spirit world is more willful than due to poor upbringing or education. | ||

Well that's not very fair on the last point. She is a teenager who is having a bit of a rift with her parents and is conflicted about siding with Unalaq over her own father, so her personal life and her duties as an avatar seem to be butting heads which we shouldn't expect to be easy to come to grips (she's supposed to choose avatar duties first, but she doesn't quite know what they are). Unalaq has already advanced himself from her spiritual teacher to basically her boss. People are complaining about this because she was so strong last season (when the family was not relevant to the plot), and the antagonists were clearly defined, and lest we forget, we can't compare apples to oranges because Aang had his share of problems resulting from having no family left at all, when here Korra has her family at the center of her life and conflicts. Issues with family is also an attempt to appeal to the audiences personal lives, perhaps. This shit can't be easy to write. I will wait for refocusing. | ||
